Upper gastrointestinal tract infections in AIDS. AIDS GIT Group.
Upper gastrointestinal tract infection in AIDS is a complex multifactorial process. The approach to diagnostic evaluation can be based upon knowledge of the large spectrum of bacteria, viruses and protozoa involved. The availability of effective therapy is the most decisive factor in determining the duration of upper gastrointestinal tract infections in AIDS patients. Awareness of the clinical, epidemiological, immunological and therapeutic aspects should help to direct the diagnostic evaluation of these patients and to highlight areas of research.
